If you’re interested in learning to cook in a fun way, we welcome you to Open Door! Last year we looked at dishes from around the world and as we moved into Veganuary, and we looked into meat free alternatives. Heading into February young people have been taking the lead and have picked dishes around their culture, such as Macaroni Pie and Jerk Pasta! We may have some exciting news to follow, so stay tuned.

We started the month by meeting with Bedford Borough Youth Cabinet and Central Bedfordshire Youth Parliament, which was a first time for all of us, coming together to share what we do, discuss future work, and of course, a few games! We also were lucky enough to have a meeting with local MP Sarah Owen, discussing Social Expectations, Gender in Sports and Equality. We moved forward with our campaign for Domestic Violence Awareness, making over 20 gift bags for women in refuge in support of Women’s Aid, and adding to an art exhibition they will be hosting over March. Our Vice Chair Natasha also spoke at the Luton 2040 Conference about what the future of Luton looks like, ensuring youth voice is being heard as we work towards the 2040 vision for Luton!
